香港旅遊景點介紹---跑馬地馬場(Happy Valley Racecourse)

twintwin

香港共有兩個賽馬場，一個位於香港島跑馬地，另一個位於新界沙田。


跑馬地在1846年仍是一片沼澤，但也是當時香港島唯一的平坦土地，因此，香港有史以來的首次賽馬活動，就在跑馬地舉行，自此，跑馬地一直是香港賽馬活動的舉行場地。初期每年只舉辦一次競賽，賽事一般會在農曆新年期間舉行，直至1973年才首次舉行夜間競賽，並且大受歡迎。


跑馬地馬場經過多次改建及重建工程，已成為一個世界級水平的全草地賽馬場，場內具有全電腦化投注系統，並設有巨型熒幕現場直播賽事。每場賽事可容納14匹馬出賽，每年約舉行40次賽事。


每年9月至翌年6、7月初是賽馬季節，年滿18歲的人士，無論投注與否，也可進場參觀。您也可以參加「賽馬觀光團」，體驗精采刺激的賽馬活動。跑馬地馬場內的香港賽馬博物館，可讓您瞭解賽馬活動的歷史及發展進程。

Attending a race meeting under the dazzling lights of the Happy Valley Racecourse is an opportunity to capture the essence and the vitality of Hong Kong Chinese culture. This magnificent course has been the home of Hong Kong horse racing since the first meeting was held on a strip of reclaimed marshland in 1846. To enjoy all the action of this spectacle, join a Come Horseracing Tour during the annual September to early June / July horseracing season. Today, the track is ultra-sophisticated with computerised betting and horse races broadcast live on gigantic screens. Night racing was introduced in 1973 and was an immediate success. For sheer excitement and the opportunity to rub shoulders with the locals, nothing beats a night at the horse races in Happy Valley. The nearby Hong Kong Racing Museum offers a fascinating glimpse of the sport's exciting history.
